It took two trips to the dealer to prove it was actually leaking. Then another two trips because they didn't fix it right hte first time.
- My power steering pump has leaked since about 20,000km, and they refuse to fix it under warranty. Instead, they offered me a "good deal" on parts and labor.
- The battery light is on far too often. There was a recall on this issue. All they did was reflash the ecu to trigger the light at a lower voltage.
There were some other issues too that I won't get into. But the bottom line is that I'm not a Honda guy anymore.
| Curious as to which dealer this is as well.
My GF's father has two newer Honda's and he's constantly said that dealing with the service department at two different dealers has been an absolute nightmare.
He's always said that they never acknowledge problems or pass them off as "normal operation" or "not bad enough to warrant replacing", and that trying to get any work done under warranty is a headache. Not to mention they tried to sell him a timing belt / water pump job at 70k, even though I told him that the timing belt for his car was good for 160k / 7 years.
He complained about abnormal shifting from 1st to 2nd off the line numerously (yes V6 auto) and it was the fourth or fifth trip where the dealer finally acknowledged that it was an issue and that they *just* found a TSB for an update, an update that apparently had been out for nearly two years according to a Honda parts advisor that my co-worker knows..
He started bringing his car to my dealer once his warranty expired :fuckthatshit:
Have had friends complain about Honda service as well lol |
